PROS: This is a great bag, with enough room for your camera, two lenses, extra batteries, charger, video cables, etc. I could imagine fitting more than that however items above fit my needs. Comes with a carry strap and a paded velcro divider that you can rearrange the interior of the bag in up to 3 sections, so in that way you don't have accessories in direct contact with each other (possible scratches).

CONS: The connecting clip in the front of the bag used to close and secure the bag, is not made with a very good quality, actually is not even the clip, is the strap that goes into the clip that is loosely attached to it. This does not represent a major issue as long as you are aware, the camera could drop out of the bag because of how loosely assembled it is.

Conclusion: I still recommend it with the caution advise, would have given it 5 stars if it wasn't because of the connection clip. Overall I still love the bag, I secured the connection clip strap by adding a safety pin underneath, which goes unnoticed.

The case will barely hold the camera with mounted lens and one extra lens. The various pockets will hold small items, but the overall size limits the number of items that can be carried.

I would give this bag six stars if I could because it certainly warrants it. Size wise it measures about 13 inches long, 7 inches high and most importantly, a mere 6 inches deep. What's even more amazing is the amount of gear it holds; camera with my 12-60 normal lens attached, a 70-300 tele, FL36 flash, battery charger, lens caps and shades, extra CF cards, a USB cable, 4 extra batteries for the flash and a small flashlight.

There are 4 zippered pockets and 3 unzippered pockets.

The padded liners are fully adjustable with the usual Velcro strips and give plenty of protection on all sides. The shoulder strap has a nice thick pad and my shoulder wasn't sore even after a day of sightseeing.

If I had to find something negative, it would be lack of a strap for a small tripod. I never carry a tripod, so for me it's a none issue. It may be important to others however.

Honest reviews on Olympus E System Travel Bag

The Olympus E System camera bag is a very nice quality bag, but a bit on the small side for my E-500 and accessories. It would be a great bag for the smaller Olympus SLR cameras. I purchased it because I thought it would be handy to take my camera and a few accessories in, when I am on the run. It's a great bag for that purpose. I have a very large camera case I keep everything in.

+: Great quality, several pockets to store stuff in, lightweight The velcro divider is great because you can reposition it to suit your needs.

-: Room enough for my E-500 with two lenses, but that's about all. No room for a flash, filters, lens cloth, remotes, etc. There's hardly room for the extra battery and charger when you you have both lenses and the camera body in there!

I have a small camera bag that I use for my Evolt e420, but I wanted a larger bag to be able to carry more than one lens when needed. This bag is perfect for my needs. It's padded, not super heavy (even with the lenses and camera) and it seems made of great quality. It's difficult to judge the long term durability aspect since it's still relatively new, but it seems as though with it's canvas material and snapping clasp it will suit my purposes. I'm not an expert or professional photographer, but I do take a lot of pictures, so I am excited to have this bag.
